They also have significant cultural and economic value. In general, carpets are divided into two categories: machine-made and handmade, each of which has unique features. Understanding these differences helps us to properly care for our carpets and extend their lifespan. Key differences between handmade and machine-made carpets Machine-made carpets are industrially produced in factories using synthetic materials and chemical dyes, making them easy to wash. On the other hand, handmade carpets are carefully woven by skilled craftsmen and dyed with natural dyes. Given these materials and the production process, handmade carpets require specialized care and cleaning to maintain their beauty and durability. The Importance of Natural Colors in Handmade Carpets One of the distinguishing features of handmade carpets is the use of natural colors, which gives them a distinctive and unique look. These colors are obtained from natural sources such as plants, minerals and even certain insects. However, if not maintained properly, they may fade due to improper washing or prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Therefore, washing handmade carpets should be done carefully and using appropriate detergents. Vacuum cleaner Vacuum cleaners are the number one enemy of handmade carpets. Brushing can damage the edges of your carpet. Most vacuum cleaners are too powerful for any type of carpet. If you must vacuum, do it at least once every two weeks. Pets Pets are very energetic, especially young and untrained puppies, who love to chew on carpets. They can start the process of unraveling the carpet roots by chewing and removing the carpet glue. They will try to use your carpet to sharpen their claws and damage your machine-made carpet. Improper cleaning and washing company One of the most common complaints we hear from customers is that they have been damaged by carpet cleaners, in-home cleaning services, or companies that use machines to clean carpets. In-home cleaning services leave soap residue on your carpet, causing it to lose its original shine and easily attract dirt. Be aware that it is very difficult to dry carpets at home, which means that many carpets will grow mold. Carpet cleaners use chemicals and methods that are not safe for carpets. They use the same shampoo for plastic carpets on delicate handmade carpets made of natural wool and silk. These harsh cleaners are stripping and damaging your carpet. Machines should never be used in the carpet washing process, as they put pressure and damage to the roots of the carpet, damage the fibers and may cause the carpet to unravel. Remember that natural fibers such as wool, silk and cotton are very delicate and not just any detergent should be used to clean them, the same is true for plant-based synthetic fibers such as viscose fibers and it is necessary to use special detergents, remember that the detergent must be strong enough to remove dirt but gentle enough not to damage the fiber composition.
